Dear All,

I am developing such a database application which extract data from excel and save it to SQL Database.

My program is working fine at production server. But when it runs from client's PC it fails. Suppose I have a file "C:\test.xlsx". It works on Server but not working on client PC while same path/files exists.

I am using below queries: -

SQL

SELECT * FROM
OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Data Source=C:\test.xlsx;Extended Properties=''Excel 12.0 XML;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1;''')...[Sheet1$]

Regards,

Anil Kumar

Fails in what way...What is the exact error message.

Do you have Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 installed on the client?

It's quite likely that it's a permissions problem: the root directory of most machines is protected these days, and read-write access to files in it defaults to forbidden - particularly when it's the root directory of the boot disk.

I'd strongly suggest that you store your DB in a more "user friendly" location: Where should I store my data?[^] should help.
